Even with Xiao Yan's mental fortitude, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the small mountain of fire banyan branches in front of him.
One must know that many Origin Sect powerhouses would have to rack their brains just to obtain one in the outside world. However, Huo Qing had casually piled up these fire banyan branches, which were incomparably precious in the eyes of others, as if they were cabbages. If they were in the outside world, even a Source Venerate powerhouse would not be able to resist the urge to fight over them!
"Take this as your reward for saving them."
Huo Qing randomly pointed at the small mountain in front of him. Xiao Yan felt a wave of perspiration when he heard these words. However, in the end, he still put away the hundreds of Fire Banyan branches with his flushed red face under Huo Qing's somewhat playful smile.
Even at this moment, Xiao Yan still held an attitude of disbelief toward this matter.
Huo Qing turned his gaze and looked at the brother and sister in the distance. He raised the wooden stick in his hand and pointed it at the withered tree. Xiao Yan's gaze followed and looked over. After which, Huo Qing slowly said,
"The ancestor of the Fire Banyan Clan used his lifetime's cultivation and the Life Qi of the Fire Banyan Tree at the end of the Fire Banyan Tree's lifespan to leave behind a blessing for the brother and sister. He sealed it inside the tree so that when the two of them stepped into the Origin King stage, they could borrow that power to raise their cultivation to the Origin Sect level in a short period of time.
"The ancestor was so generous. The person who could do this was at least a Origin Venerate."
Xiao Yan's mind froze for a moment when he heard this. Being able to do this was enough to show the generosity of the ancestor.
"That person was a good friend of mine. At the time, he was already half a step into the Origin Saint stage. Unfortunately …"
Huo Qing's scarlet-red old face could not help but be moved when he thought of the past. The two were silent for a moment, before Huo Qing continued.
"Back then, he entrusted these two juniors to me because he hoped that I would be able to escort them all the way until they fused with and absorbed the power of the inheritance. However, circumstances have changed with the passage of time. After so many years, the remaining life energy within the Fire Banyan Tree has almost been completely exhausted. For the sake of protecting the inheritance, and also for the sake of fulfilling an old friend's wish, I had no choice but to use my body as the foundation to seal it."
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Using the Origin Source Flame as the seal. Didn't this mean that once the seal was undone and the Heavenly Flame regained its freedom, Huo Qing's consciousness would also disappear along with the seal?
"I believe that there is no need for me to say more. You also understand this point."
Huo Qing smiled calmly as if he did not care about this at all. His old eyes stared at the brother and sister as he said again, "Brother,
"At that time, without my protection, these two little fellows are destined to be unable to continue living in this place. Therefore, I hope that if possible, you can take them away. In return, you can have the Origin Source Flame."
"Elder …"
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Huo Qing waved his hand and interrupted him.
"You don't need to care about anything else. No matter what you choose, that day will eventually come. At that time, there will be countless experts who will barge into the remains. If you find it difficult, I ask you to try your best to bring them away from the Flowing Fire Plains."
Xiao Yan was silent for a long time after hearing this. A long while later, he finally clenched his teeth and cupped his fists towards Huo Qing.
He said in a serious tone, "Elder, don't worry. As long as this junior is alive in the future, I will definitely do my best to protect the two of them!"
Huo Qing nodded gratefully. He then cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan and said.
"In that case, this old man will thank mister on behalf of the two of them!"
The Huo siblings did not know that the seal was related to Huo Qing. After all, it was the final entrustment of the Huo Banyan Tribe. In order to protect the wish of his old friend, Huo Qing did not plan to let them know about this matter. Therefore, after Xiao Yan understood this, he could not help but feel a little sad in his heart.
From a certain point of view, Huo Qing could be said to be Huo Xing and Huo Xin's protector, but more importantly, he was like a teacher and a father. The ancestors of the Huo Banyan Tribe had spent their entire lives cultivating for the two of them. Now, Huo Qing was about to take this step.
…
Two days later, the injuries in Xiao Yan's body were completely healed with the help of the medicinal pills. Moreover, he realized that his stagnant cultivation actually showed some signs of growth during his training. Although the growth speed was extremely slow, it still caused Xiao Yan to feel an endless joy in his heart.
Accompanied by Huo Rong and his sister, Xiao Yan's three man group made a turn within the remains. Soon after, a deep pit that was paved with enormous rocks appeared in front of them. The middle of the deep pit was a fire mouth that rose like a volcano. Waves of frighteningly high temperature spread in all directions with this fire mouth as the middle. At the edge of the fire mouth, Huo Qing was currently looking at the repeatedly churning magma below. His brows were filled with worry.
The three of them walked forward. Only then did Huo Qing slowly turn around and let out a long sigh.
"What are you doing here instead of cultivating?"
Hearing this, the young girl Huo Xin's pretty face revealed a cute smile. She stepped forward and accompanied the old man. Xiao Yan walked forward by himself and looked down at the fire hole curiously.
"Eh? This is … Fire Banyan Branch, Spirit Melting Berry, Crimson Blood Jade. These are all medicinal materials that are rich in fire attribute. Many of them are things that are almost extinct in the outside world. What kind of medicinal pill is he refining all these medicinal materials together in one go? "
"Fire Spirit Pill."
While Xiao Yan was reciting the precious herbs that were extremely rare in the outside world, Huo Qing, who was behind her, gently stroked her head. At the same time, he looked at Xiao Yan with a slightly surprised expression and smiled.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. There was some suspicion in his eyes. The old man continued unhurriedly.
"This is the Fire Spirit Pill that is unique to the Fire Banyan Tribe. The method used is quite strange and different from what the outside world knows. It can be said that it was specially made for the Fire Banyan Tribe. With this pill, the success rate of breaking through to the Origin Emperor, Origin Ancestor, or even the Origin Venerate will increase by a lot. Of course, whether it is effective for other people is unknown."
A shock suddenly surged within Xiao Yan's eyes when these words were uttered. Based on what he knew, any pill that could increase one's chances of breaking through to the Yuan Zun class was a top tier medicinal pill that was ranked at the eighth tier. However, from the situation that appeared in the fire mouth in front of him, regardless of whether it was the number of medicinal ingredients or the majority of them, it was at the very most a tier 7 medicinal pill. This Fire Spirit Pill was really shocking!
"This pill is supposed to be used by Huo Xin to break through to the Origin Emperor realm. However, the problem now is that with my methods, it will take me at least a month to refine this pill. Also, it's hard to say when those guys outside will suddenly barge in here …"
Although Huo Qing was full of praise for the effect of this medicinal pill, he was helpless because he knew very little about the way of refining medicine. Even with the help of the 'Heavenly Flame', he would still need to spend quite a lot of time in order to refine this medicinal pill. However, Xiao Yan smiled and slowly turned his eyes around after Huo Qing's words sounded.
"Why don't you leave it to me?"
